Are you a fan of the Nicholas Sparks Novels ? Seen or Own movies such as Message In a Bottle , A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe , Dear John and The Last Song ?. If so, you are in for a definite treat as I present to you his latest book "Safe Haven".

Review : Safe Haven - Nicholas Sparks - October 2010

Are you a fan of the happy ever after tales of love , not the soppy ones that never have or hit a bumpy spot but the ones that overcome all the obstacles and some of those obstacles are life-threatening and terrifying , that you can't imagine how someone would survive through it all . If so then this is a book , well I should rephrase myself and say that this is an author that you should add to your list to read , if you haven't already I suggest you get a move on as you are missing out big time.
Nicholas Sparks is famous for the fact that most of his romance/drama novels have been or are being made into movies.
So While I was reading Safe Haven I was picturing it as if it was a movie and who I would cast as certain characters etc, continue reading till the end to find out and if you have any actors/actresses in mind to play the roles please comment on this post .
Back to the story , Katie is running away from her past and ends up in a small town called Southport , with no money etc Katie gets a job working as a waitress in a small town restaurant called Ivan's. As the story progresses we see a next door neighbour moving in Jo whom becomes Katie's close friend and Alex - the grocery store owner. As Katie starts to fall for Alex whom is now widowed with two little ones , her guard starts to slowly tear down but will her past come back to haunt her as she starts to develop a more intimate relationship with Alex and his children Kristen and Josh. Also characters are revealed as we discover the true identity of Katie aka Erin and Jo aka Carly Jo.
A novel that shows that no matter what stands in your way or whom stands in your way, if love is meant to happen , then it will happen with the whole shebang - fireworks and an epic tale.
If I was to make this into a movie , I'm thinking for the role of  Katie/Erin - Natalie Portman/Julia Stiles , Alex - Hugh Jackman/Gerald Butler , Kristen and Josh - played by the girl who is going to be playing Reneesme on Breaking Dawn and her little brother , Jo/Carly Jo - Meg Ryan/Cameron Diaz.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
